bruce is a grandpa AGAIN!!

Poor Bruce - His mom just informed us this morning that he is going to be a grandpa again - Now normally this would be a good thing - However, Bruce and his Ex had two babies at eighteen before they were married ( amarriage that lasted two years total. Neither Bruce nor his wife finished high school and she allready had a baby from an unknown father when they met - Bruce raised him as his own. Well now that boy has had three outof wedlock children with three different women. He never finished school and has a pitiful job and his newest woman (who just had their baby) has three children from three different men. Never married. Bruce's natural son never finished highschool, still lives with his mom has no job and now has baby three on the way from a different girl who's living with him and his mom and she has no job. Mom has no job. Bruces daughter just turned 21, never finished school, lives with her boyfriend - father of her two boys who both suffer from failure to thrive (she never touched them as babies - the two year old can barely walk) and now she is pregnant with another one - neither she or her boyfriend work and they live with his dad who is on disability.

I am just in shock - how can this keep happening -

It's like three generations of ??? This has to stop - our world is becoming moral - less. People just living off the state and whatever they can get their hands on - One son is not welcome over here cuz he stole $40 out of my night stand when we had them over for dinner. The daughter won't talk to Bruce at all cuz her mom has instilled hatred for Bruce in all three kids. And the first son (not actually Bruce's) won't see us anymore cuz I gave him my van but he needed to get it licensed in his name and he wouldn't so we took it back) Its like they are just rif raf and I am exasperated!! Bruce is just so thrilled at how the family name is being carried on

POOR GUY! (but perhaps he should have been a better role model!)

How sad! I"m so sorry that the families are doing so poorly. I don't know how I feel on the underlying subject. There are people that come from the worst family backgrounds and they soar, others don't do as well. What determines who makes it and who doesn't??
Remind me of the book I just finished "The Working Poor".... Esp the chapter that discusses how humans crave affection but esp those in poverty don't have the skills to keep it in place. The stresses of poverty just add to it. Oh there I go rambling on! Hopefully they'll figure it out soon kimmee!
